Very accurate. This is why I try so hard to document and use some kind of standard even though I am mostly a solo programmer. Someone always ends up looking at your code eventually. Heck I've looked back on some of my own older code and felt that way, lol.

It frustrates me that programmers all are aware of this sort of assfoolery but all still staunchly refuse to accept standards for documentation and code annotation and so forth... 
It's like all programmers hate the siht out of reading other peoples' code, but want to create code themselves that every other programmer will hate the siht out of reading too...

That requires discipline and not many programmers have that, lol. Besides most of them think they are unique snowflakes and that nobody could ever properly understand their code anyway (I say them because I do try to keep my code clean).

Some of it is also because, even if you talk your project management into writing down requirements and specifications, they are rarely adhered to, constantly changing and increasing until the project just barely launches within its time frame and you have spent all your time making sure the damn thing works, doesn't crash and does every extra damn thing they asked for at the last minute.
So there's no time or money left to explain how you actually got it accomplished.

This is yet another reason why I like pascal-languages more than c-languages... It is FAR easier to self-comment pascal than C.
C is the reason for all the mess...
I do not understand why mainstream coding has not moved on by now.
We no longer live in a "closest to the metal and portability of the language are of massive importance" world...
We live in a "ease of debugging and ease of maintaining code SHOULD be the primary concern but ISNT" world.
